CCMC focuses on a cluster of domestic and global issues: children and families, health care, women’s equality, reproductive health, global population and the environment, civil society, racial justice and human rights. It also manages the PLANetWIRE website (www.PLANetWIRE.org) for journalists.

UNFPA is the world's largest multilateral source of population assistance. Since it became operational in 1969, it has provided more than $5.6 billion in assistance to developing countries. The United Nations General Assembly has welcomed the Fund's contributions towards improving the quality of human life.

The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation was founded in 1966 to promote the well-being of mankind by supporting selected activities of a charitable nature, as well as organizations or institutions engaged in such activities.
